critical community needs. The goal of the OCAA is to provide
quality after-school programming that benefits youth in
Orange County. |

or physical education specialist. AmeriCorps members will
be placed in various after-school programs
throughout Orange County. |

OCAA participants commit to 450 hours of service over
the course of a year and may receive a cash stipend. Upon
the completion of 450 hours of service, participants will
